When to Add the Glaze
For best results, cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes first, then brush on teriyaki glaze. This prevents the sugars from burning before the salmon cooks through. Add a second coat in the last 2 minutes for extra sticky glaze.
Homemade vs Store-Bought
Both work great. Store-bought teriyaki is convenient, while homemade lets you control sweetness. Either way, the air fryer caramelizes the glaze beautifully. Consider pairing with asparagus for a complete meal.
Best Salmon for Teriyaki
Atlantic salmon with its higher fat content pairs beautifully with sweet glazes. Wild salmon works too but the flavor may compete with the glaze.
